This is pretty interesting. This topic was discussed ad nauseum when it happened, there's even a cross post that's over a month old with 280 upvotes and 50 comments.

But on my feed post is showing as less than an hour old, and appears in at least 3 other communities for me.

Also the headline of the actual article is:

House passes bill to expand definition of antisemitism amid growing campus protests over Gaza war

Nowhere in the article does it mention making "Gaza genocide protests illegal". I think misrepresenting the contents of the article and changing the headline could very well explain why the posts was removed from another community.
